Itinerary

  • Hanging Church (El Muallaqa, Sitt Mariam, St Mary)

    A fascinating exploration of Coptic Cairo, delving into the heart of the old city's rich history and religious significance. Your professional guide will pick you up and navigate through the narrow lanes of Old Cairo to reach the southern fringes, where Coptic Cairo unfolds. Begin your journey with a visit to the Hanging Church of the Virgin Mary, perched atop the water gate. Dating back to the 7th century, the church boasts magnificent dark interiors with cedar paneling, a wooden ark ceiling, and a marble pulpit supported by 12 pillars.

    30 minutes

  • Church of St. Barbara

    The tour continues with a visit to the Church of St. Barbara, a site of historic importance originally dedicated to St. Cyrus and St. John, revered for their healing powers. A small church within the building commemorates these two martyrs.

    30 minutes

  • Coptic Orthodox Church of St. George (Mari Girgis)

    Next, explore the Coptic Orthodox Church of St. George, a Greek Orthodox church situated within the Babylon Fortress. Dating back to the 10th century, the church was rebuilt after a 1904 fire and serves as part of the Holy Patriarchal Monastery of St. George.

    30 minutes

  • Synagogue Ben Ezra

    Experience the transformative history of the Synagogue Ben Ezra, initially a Coptic church converted into a Jewish synagogue in the 11th century. According to Jewish tradition, it's associated with the prophet Jeremiah's preaching and, according to Coptic belief, the site where baby Moses was found in a basket.

    30 minutes

  • Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus

    Delve into the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, where it is believed that the Holy Family found refuge during their exile in Egypt. Visitors seeking blessings can participate in a unique tradition of being wrapped in chains by the nuns in the Chapel of the convent.

    30 minutes

  • Cave Church

    Conclude your journey with a visit to the Monastery of Saint Simon, also known as the Cave Church, nestled in the Mokattam mountain. Uncover the beauty of seven hidden churches and chapels within caves, adorned with engravings depicting stories from the Bible. The grandeur of St. Simon's Hall, an expansive seating arena, makes this monastery a testament to Coptic heritage and spirituality.
